U.S. marshals are searching for an illegal immigrant wanted for sexually assaulting a child over several years

Twenty-eight-year old Mario Mendoza, who also uses the alias Santos Amaya, was charged in July 2011 with the rape of a child who lived in the home that he was subletting. Marshals deputies say that Mendoza was also wanted for failing to appear on a charge of driving under the influence. Mendoza is from Honduras, said Inspector Matt Burke, of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. The fugitive may have fled the country, but authorities want to lay the groundwork for the public in case he returns. "This guy is clearly a danger to kids wherever he is and needs to be brought in," said Inspector Matt Burke, of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. Mendoza is listed as 5-feet-7 and 160 pounds.
